Stanley Ridge
Stanley Ridge is a mild-mannered man who likes to shoot his mouth off. This may be attributed to his New York origins, his zest for life, a deep-seated unhappiness with the current political situation, or all of the above. His tastes in literature are as varied and unpredictable as his taste in men. With the latter, however, he has a definite favorite and except for him only looks at the covers. He has not even thumbed the pages in nearly seven years. In addition to his duties as an editor for two m2m on-line literary magazines, he spends much of his spare time his own writing and to literary translation.
